2 answers:

8 0

Let "a", "b" and "с" be sides of the triangle ("с" is the longest side). The triangle will be right if a² + b² = c²

a. 13 35 37
13² + 35² = 1394 and 37² = 1369
1394 ≠ 369

b. 6 9 10
6² + 9² = 117 and 10² = 100
117 ≠ 100

c. 5 12 13
5² + 12² = 169 and 13² = 169
169 = 169 ← right triangle

d. 9 40 42
9² + 40² = 1681 and 42² = 1764
1681 ≠ 1784

The answer is c. 5 12 13

The coordinates below represent two linear equations. How many solutions does this system of equations have?

Use the points to find the equations of both your lines.
By using the formula for finding slope where: m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Your first equation is y = -2x+4
Your second equation is y = -2x+7
Normally you want to set these equal to each other and see where they are equal... however, as you can clearly see, these two equations are parallel. Parallel equations don't intersect, which would mean your answer is A, no solutions.

The brand manager for a brand toothpaste must plan a campaign designed to increase brand recognition. He wants to first determin

bulgar [2K]

We need to find out how many adults must the brand manager survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage.

From the given data we know that our confidence level is 90%. From Standard Normal Table we know that the critical level at 90% confidence level is 1.645. In other words, $Z_{Critical}=1.645$ .

We also know that E=5% or E=0.05

Also, since, $\hat{p}$ is not given, we will assume that $\hat{p}$ =0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})$ in the expression and that will be maximum only when $\hat{p}$ =0.5. (For any other value of $\hat{p}$ , we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if, $\hat{p}$ is 0.4, then $1-\hat{p}=0.6$ and thus, $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})=0.24$ .).
